Excellent!

macally PHR-100AC Aluminum 3.5" IDE USB2.0 (type B) + IEEE1394 External Enclosure
macally PHR-100AC Aluminum 3.5" IDE USB2.0 (type B) + IEEE1394 External Enclosure

Pros: Wonderful durability, great transfer speeds, nice bright light on the front (color coded and easily detachable from inside in necesary.), comes with high quality cables, and daisy-chains with other IEEE external drives nicely.

Cons: As long as you have the right tools, then no problem. Otherwise, the back screws might be a little bit of a hassle. Also, molex power inside is connected to a *very* stiff cable, and is difficult to bend down correctly.

Overall Review: Newegg rules! Ordered on Sunday, showed up on Wednesday with UPS 3 day.

WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE FAN!!!!!

Thermaltake POLO 735 80mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
Thermaltake POLO 735 80mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler

Pros: Cools the processor down to a non-lethal level ~40C idle, but it can spike up to about 72C at full load.

Cons: I intermittently yell to people in my house to stop vacuuming, even though they aren't. When they yell back, confused, they can't hear me. Ug.

Overall Review: Get it only if you listen to extremely loud punk rock music 24/7

WOW, thats all I have to say.

Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Perfect case- lots of room, great no tools setup, sleek looking, fits lots of drive space, very quiet. I love it.

Cons: To install drives, you have to take the front plates out, which is a little tough (I used a butter knife). The instructions are written in 'Engrish', but anyone that has built a computer before can figure it out a couple seconds.

Overall Review: Great case... Buy it!.

Works like DVDs should

Memorex 4.7GB 16X DVD-R 50 Packs Disc Model 05639
Memorex 4.7GB 16X DVD-R 50 Packs Disc Model 05639

Pros: Works, no coasters in over 30 burns . Beautiful.

Cons: On the package it tells you that if you haven't updated your firmware recently, do it, or you can't burn 16x. That is good, but they're serious. Con: I had to update firmware.

Overall Review: Great consistent DVD's. What's left to say?

Good, solid keyboard

Microsoft Digital Media Pro BX1-00005 2-Tone 105 Normal Keys 22 Function Keys + 1 Zoom Slider Function Keys USB or PS/2 Wired Standard Keyboard
Microsoft Digital Media Pro BX1-00005 2-Tone 105 Normal Keys 22 Function Keys + 1 Zoom Slider Function Keys USB or PS/2 Wired Standard Keyboard

Pros: This is a very nice solid keyboard. Great for the daily use, and extra 'hotkeys' are quite useful. Unlike some other reviewers, I have had no problems with me system not remembering key settings.

Cons: The entire soft-key technology makes me sad. I really enjoy the general clack of typing. I am not a gamer, so I have not had the multi-key problem. But for all you gamers, this is a multimedia keyboard, and there are gaming keyboards out there that are specialized just for you!

Overall Review: Great keyboard for general use, Eg:/ internet, programming, video/photo work, music, etc.

Awesome!

AMD Opteron 280 Italy 2.4 GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket 940 95W OSA280CBBOX Processor
AMD Opteron 280 Italy 2.4 GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket 940 95W OSA280CBBOX Processor

Pros: This thing is amazing! I have compared it to the intel Extreme Edition 840, and it is definately better! I'm not sure that the difference is worth the money, however

Cons: HOT! I have som e of the best water cooling out there, and this processor still idles around 50. Full load is really hot! Around 65.

Overall Review: I'm sorry that I didn't get it from Newegg. :-(
